Sylas Ultimate is Downright Unfair in Games vs Cho'Gath

Normally I don't complain about certain champions or kits being unfair, but this seems like a situation where it's warranted. Sylas getting health stacks by repeatedly stealing Cho's ultimate seems downright game-breaking. Basically you're giving him a way of getting tons of free max health, so he can build pure damage and still be very tanky.

Think about it, Cho'Gath's health stacking makes sense for Cho'Gath's kit. When you give Sylas endless health stacking, it synergizes too well with his kit, and makes him nearly unstoppable once he has a significant number of stacks. It also lets him instantly kill any enemy champion below a certain amount of health, which is crazy for someone who also has a dash, a shield, and 2 forms of cc.

Just wait to see a game with Sylas vs Cho and Ali

Running around with 5k hp, full AP build, and taking 75% less damage

I would agree if doing so didn't also make sylas bigger. That pathing-ruining huge hitbox is tolerable when you've got 5k hp and 200 of both resistances, but on sylas it means he's eating a lot of skillshots that mess his tiny mage ass up

This is Kinda why Sylas is dangerous.

That’s kind of the point of Sylas he’s the ultimate counter pick. You have a strong ult on your team? He can take it and turn it against you.

i think sylas against olaf is a scary predicament, a full ap diver mage completely immune to CC

But it's fair when Cho'gath gets to be tanky as fuck and still nuke someone by pressing R?

What part of Cho'gath's kit makes it fair on him but not on Sylas? Both are still going to press R for an instakill. Cho'gath is just tankier so he doesn't die before pressing R.
